The Hairdresser's Husband

The Hairdresser's Husband is a tightly knit, though slight, tale told in the best of humor. It's the story of despair bred by utter happiness. The story of this marriage begins with the husband's childhood in which he developed an adolescent crush on the town's buxom barber and also a severe case of jock itch thanks to the red wool bathing trunks his mother made him wear. Freud would not approve.

"...it seems he has found perfect happiness. In their blue-tiled paradise, her little shop with windows along the front..."

The Umbrellas of Cherbourg

This cinematic pop opera is a disorienting, strange experience at first – every word is sung, even the most banal of dialogue. The simple yet sophisticated French film tells the story of two star-crossed lovers, a 16-year-old shopgirl and her gas-station attendant sweetheart, without any apology for the unashamedly romantic heart.

"...Its tale is one recounted many times before -- boy loves girl, girl loves boy, boy leaves girl, girl..."
